Actress JESSICA ALBA was pulled over by police in California on Friday (24Apr09) for driving in the wrong direction down a one-way street.

The Fantastic Four actress was approached by a cop after she was spotted driving in the opposite way to the traffic flow in Santa Monica.

Alba reportedly tried to talk her way out of being reprimanded for the blunder - but police still issued her with a ticket.

Before she drove away, paparazzi filmed the star joking with the officer, giggling and asking him, "So if I want to fight it (contest the ticket), do you have to show up in court? Wouldn't that be your lucky day?" (WENN/CL/WNWCHP/PAW)
